"Bantam PCB Mill at lab station"

The Bantam Tools PCB Mill is a desktop CNC subtractive manufacturing milling machine. It is most useful for cutting PCBs (Printed Circuit Boards) but can cut anything softer than steel. Its build volume is relatively minimal, so it is typically used for fabricating small, intricate parts.
